You have to be careful on what they say. If they say “In stores” that doesn’t mean they release that day, its just the first day you can see them in stores.

All Videogames now release on Tuesdays with a few exceptions to rushed releases and an occasional Mario which unusually releases on Sundays.

I work at Toys R Us in the electronics department and have had that issue come up once before with a Pokemon Game. Commercial said in Stores Monday, but our sales papers said Sold on Tuesday. We DID have displays out monday to build hype on the product, but could not sell it until Tuesday.

Sometimes the commercials will just say “In Stores Now!” when they don’t release until Tuesday and the TV Station just aired the commercial early.

I know that there are legal considerations of selling the game early, but why would Nintendo themselves put an official release on Monday October 24 if it couldn’t be sold until the next day? That’s all I was disappointed about. Especially since commercials and advertising said October 24.

I was mostly mad about wasted time and fuel (I have to drive 30 minutes to the next town that has a store that sells games).

That’s because Nintendo games cannot be sold until Tuesdays. Nintendo’s official Release for video Games, (actually ANY Game System) only release on Sundays (Only Mario ever comes out on this day regularly) and Tuesday.

Its not just Gamestop. Any store that sales Videogames cannot sell them until Tuesday as that is the real release day.

Any store caught selling before hand faces legal repercussions.

Let’s just say I don’t go back to that Gamestop anymore.

I would have RAGED! D:<

I know from experience that Gamestop will not sell a game that officially releases on a Monday until Tuesday. When Kirby Return to Dreamland was released on Monday October 24 last year, they wouldn’t sell it to me until the next day. I was so disappointed because they told me that they had the copies in the back, knew today was the actual release date and still wouldn’t sell it to me.

And it’s only 10 day from fall’s beginning..better then this..
